This is an incredible desert! I made this for mother's day, and everyone wanted the recipe, and more cookies, but 1-2 is the most you can eat because they are so rich-but definately a crowd pleaser, and everyone thought of me as the gourmet cook for the day!

I loved the cookie part... but the filling part was like eating pure butter. I thought it would be more like an icing. I felt like I was gnawing on a stick of lard.

The cornmeal made these cookies a little too loud and crunchy in the mouth. My children rated them low and would have preferred a softer version.

Very easy to make, extremely tasty.
When cutting the cookies, I thought I would use a flower shaped round biscuit cutter, (scalloped edges but the cookie spreads as it cooks, so don't bother wasting your time and effort with shape. Round is fine.

I had no problems making these cookies at all but all I could taste was the butter, too much butter!

I tried these even though many reviews were bad. They were SO GOOD, and i didn't have any problems making them. Mine were a bit smaller than Giada's and thicker, but they tasted just fine. I reduced the butter by half a stick and used only 1/4 cup of polenta. For the filling I made a cream cheese vanilla frosting. I looooved them.

I followed the other reviewers' suggestions: less butter (1/2 c + 2 T. I had no problem with rolling the dough out. I refrigerated for 1/2 hour and then rolled out between 2 pieces of parchment paper. I gathered the left over pieces (after cutting the circles out and repeated the process. My yield was 50 cookie (for 25 sandwiches. The cookie + frosting are delicious! However, I don't care for the grittiness of the cornmeal (I used medium grind. Also, I found the salt in the dough to be ample - no salt in the frosting. The frosting is VERY soft. I even added an extra 1/4 c of powdered sugar. I think it could be even more stiff. I will definitely make these again with no cornmeal and more powdered sugar. I'll report back if I see improvements!

The cookies didn't hold their shape as much as I had hoped. I think I rolled them out too thin. They were a bit greasy for my taste, but they were incredibly tasty!
